The completely UNAUTHORIZED Happy Birthday Giveaway!

How many times does a girl turn 49? Hopefully only this once! This is it! I am entering my last year before I turn the BIG 50!

So, since I have absolutely NO CLUE as to what is expected at this ripe old age, I decided to have a GIVEAWAY! That is unexpected and really quite lovely for me ( I LOVE sharing great stuff) and hopefully for you too!

To make this a fun and unique opportunity, a brand NEW Aurifil collection has been created. This is a completely UNAUTHORIZED collection of my own making from the bins in my sewing room. I looked through all the colors and weights and decided that this collection would contain the best of all worlds! A combination of weights ( included are 50wt, 40wt 28wt and 12wt), colors and even some FABULOUS variegated! This way you can try so much in one GORGEOUS thread box. The bottom row alone is giving me chills!

Say "HELLO GORGEOUS!" to the My Go-Go Life Aurifil ( did I mention it is completely unauthorized) collection!

Look at this!!!! Makes me SO HAPPY!!!!

And as if that were not enough...I will be adding in a small spool collection of Frances Newcomb's Treasure Chest and three mini charm packs!

The grand finale, is an Aurifil color card with ALL 270 lush colors so you will be able to match up the perfect threads to every project!

That is a whole lot of AMAZING stuff you can win!!!!

I will be using Rafflecopter for the giveaway to give you a few options to make it easier for you to enter and for me to be able to contact the random winner! This giveaway is open internationally since I LOVE all of my awesome international friends :o) I would love it if you could share it with all of your friends too ;) Repost, retweet, relove :o) Happy Birthday to me and I am sending GOOD LUCK wishes to you!!!!

Happy Birthday Kim! "May you always have work for your hands to do. May your pockets hold always a coin or two. May the sun shine bright on your windowpane. May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you. And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you." -Irish blessing

Happy, happy birthday! I've been following you since I saw your cathedral windows tutorial years ago. Love your stuff! FYI: every decade gets better and better. I turned 55 this year!

Happy Birthday!!! Hope 49 is all you want it to be. But don't fear 50 - a friend told me that when she turned 50 she decided it was okay to say "no". Very freeing! Many thanks for sharing all of these lovelies with us!emyerly(at)outlook(dot)com
